Chapter 156 Confrontation Between Grandpa And Grandson
Grandpa Lu invited Tristan to sit down. Tristan maintained his serious expression as he walked over to his grandpa.
He sat on the chair opposite Grandpa Lu. The grandfather and grandson duo we\'re now facing each other.
Grandpa Lu remained silent while eyeing Tristan with his eyebrows raised. He wanted to let his grandson speak first because he was certain that once he spoke up Tristan wouldn\'t have the chance to talk.
"Grandpa, why did you do it? Why did you see Lillie behind my back? What\'s your purpose of bringing her here?" Tristan began questioning his grandfather.
Though he looked upset he still maintained his calm voice while confronting his grandpa. He wouldn\'t dare raise his voice to his elders. This was how he wanted to respect him despite the fact he didn\'t like Grandpa Lu\'s action.
Tristan continued speaking to vent out his frustration.
"Why did you disturb her in her class? She was supposed to attend her first day of class. She was looking forward to it but you ruined it, Grandpa. You can see her during the weekend but why did you do it during her first day of class? That\'s inappropriate Grandpa." Tristan scolded his grandpa a little bit.
Tristan heaved a deep sigh before he continued.
"I was planning to surprise her by seeing her in her school during lunchtime. But it turned out I was the one who was shocked when I didn\'t see her." Tristan lamented to his grandfather with his pitiful look.
Grandpa Lu didn\'t know whether to cry or laugh. His grandson looked like scolding him for Lillie\'s class interruption and blaming him for ruining Tristan\'s surprise for his wife.
\'I thought I didn\'t do something wrong but by just listening to my grandson\'s complaints why do I feel like I\'m guilty of something?\'
"Grandpa, do you hate me?" Tristan suddenly blurted out.
Grandpa Lu was taken aback by his last question. His face was clouded by confusion. He could no longer stay quiet.
"What do you mean? What made you think that I hate you?" Grandpa Lu asked Tristan inquisitively.
A deep crease appeared on Grandpa Lu\'s forehead as he watched Tristan in disbelief. He didn\'t hate him. He cared so much for him. Grandpa Lu had no idea why suddenly his grandson was thinking that he hated him.
Tristan sighed deeply once again before responding to Grandpa Lu.
"Because you almost gave your grandson a heart attack. Are you planning to kill me, Grandpa, by letting me worry too much about my wife? I thought something bad happened to her. I felt like going crazy. I searched for her over the campus but I didn\'t find her!"
"Please don\'t do that again, Grandpa," Tristan begged desperately.
"If you could just imagine the emotional trauma I had gone through this afternoon then you would feel sorry for your poor grandson," Tristan added with his exasperated voice.
Grandpa Lu: "..."
Grandpa Lu was tongue-tied once again. He thought his grandson has a deep and very serious reason why he would think that his grandfather hated him. But it turned out he just said those words because Tristan was scared to death when he thought Lillie went missing.
Grandpa Lu could only shake his head helplessly while eyeing his grandson\'s overdramatic expression.
Grandpa Lu couldn\'t blame Tristan. It was right to be worried about his wife\'s safety and well-being. Besides, he didn\'t anticipate that his grandson would also come today to visit his wife at the University.
Thinking about it, Grandpa Lu liked the idea that his grandson cared so much about his wife.
At first, he suspected them that they were just pretending and they just married for each other\'s benefits. He knew his grandson wanted to maintain his CEO position that\'s why he got married.
But he was amazed to see that the husband and wife were very sweet towards each other. They also had harmonious relationships. They really looked like young couples who were in love.
Cough! Cough!
Grandpa Lu cleared his throat when he noticed Tristan stop talking.
"Are you done lecturing your grandpa?" Grandpa Lu asked Tristan with a straight face.
Tristan felt better after he had done venting out. So Tristan bobbed his head as a response to Grandpa Lu\'s query.
Now, he was staring at his grandpa with a kind of look saying \'Now, grandpa… go on and explain yourself to me.\'
He was clearly challenging his grandfather as he folded his arms over his chest while looking straight into his eyes, waiting for his response.
"So it\'s now my turn to speak," Grandpa Lu stated once again, meeting his grandson\'s gaze.
Tristan just nodded his head at him with his tight-lipped expression.
"Cough… Cough… Ahem, first of all, I have no intention of giving you a scare nor frightening you. I just want to see my granddaughter-in-law and know her more. I didn\'t know that you would come to see her."
"This old man is quite impatient. I don\'t want to wait for the weekend to do that. Besides, I personally asked Lillie\'s professors to excuse her in their classes. They said it\'s alright because they won\'t start the lecture right away. They just gave their student a brief introduction of the course subject today and the grading system." Grandpa Lu explained to Tristan.
"And to answer your question, I brought Lillie here because she also said she wanted to know more about us, about your family. I don\'t have ill-motives by seeing your wife behind your back. I didn\'t mistreat her." Grandpa paused, assessing Tristan\'s reaction before he continued.
"And I\'m proud to say that Lillie is a wonderful woman. For the first time, you impressed me with your choice of a woman. I think my grandson is not blind. You found a hidden gem. Good job, grandson."
Tristan\'s expression softened right away when he heard that. He couldn\'t agree more. Zhen-Zhen was truly a precious gem… she\'s priceless.
"Now, I\'m done explaining. It\'s my turn to lecture a dumb grandson of mine." Grandpa Lu\'s eyes became sharp as he looked daggers at his grandson. Grandpa Lu was smiling but it was a bone-chilling smile that could send shivers through his spine.
Tristan: "..."
\'Why do I feel like I\'m in trouble now? Grandpa\'s expression suddenly changed into a frightening one! And what he meant by dumb grandson? I\'m not dumb!\'
